Wilson, the Republican. Here. as elsewhere,
Denny's pastors came out plentifully, by which
Edenharter suffered severely.
The Fifth is Mr.. Denny's ward. and there the
large vote of last fall maintained with
marked Republican gains 1t came as usual
largely from the pocket vo:e that was creating
havoc with the gang interests in the other pre-
cincts. In the Thirteenth a strong fight was
maintained against the efforts of two gang
heelers to buy votes. and those who had no
legal residence in the ward attempted to vote,
but the vieilant challengers sent them away
from the ballot box with their fraudulent pur-
pose unaccomp lished There was great dou bt
about the Twelfth account OF the fight for
the Council. but as the figures show the gangs
purchase signallv failed In the Fourteenth the
Democrats tried to save Hid, their candidate
for Council, but the Republican nominee, Davis,
met them at every turn and brought to his sup
port large labor vote.
The Seventh, Eighth and Ninth, the latter
two being considered Democratic almost beyond
recovery, poiled their largest vote in the after
noon. In the morning there was not much to
Indicate anything but decrease of the vote of
two wears ago, with the Union Labor people APP
parently doing little nothing But the vest
pocket vote was effective 1t kept Edenharter
from making any greater gain than twenty over
Cottreifs vote two years ago. while the he
pnblicans elected their candidate for Council.
McCiellands majority in his reelection to Coun-
Gil is said to be the largest ever received by
candidate in the Seventh ward.
The Fifteenth ward fight was chiefly against
Burns for the Council He is an employe of the
srreet-car company and the Knights of Labor
antagoniZed him because of his action in desert
ing them in the late strike of the Street-car
drivers Burns is especial friend of Coy and
acted as the little boss's chief agent in manipu-
latin g the street-car companys men, with the
consent of Johnson. In the first precinct the
gang tried to recover their losses by fraudulent
votes The Sixteenth, also strongly Dem ocratic.
was in state of indifference throughout the day.
W nat gains were made went to increase
Denny's majority. AS the First and Second
wards showed decisive gains for Denny, did
these Democratic localities vote with almost
continuous losses for Edenharter. In the Sew
repeating was tried, but affidavit
sworn out promptly by the Republican chal-
lenger for the of the first who at
tempted the fraud acted like a charm in fright
ening the gang. The Twenty-fifth ward, with
its fierce Democrats and impregnable Democratic
majority. YEARLY dragged out the day with the
customary quarres among the gangs factions
that center about ward affairs In that part
of the city. But every one in the saloon interest
was vigorous against Denny. However it did
its worst in the First precinct of the Twenty
ward, where the brewers made their particular
fight. The gang seems to have been pretty
thoroughly whipped its own strongholds be-
fore the first vote cast
